I need help

Aight....I want some 18's and I really want chrome rims...but will the chrome really slow me down alot if I still wanna race? Should I go with the silver alloys or are the chromes going to be ok?

17 inch alloys would offer much less rotational weight...which is key when it comes to speed & acceleration.

yes it will slow you down. i think chrome looks like a$$ anyway on imports. it's good for luxury or suv's but that's it. it's up to you but if you want speed then i would say def. not

18's are good for show, 17's good for speed. you can do so much better than chrome. there are soooooooo many other choices for your car, but if you like chrome, then go w/ chrome..but they tend to be on heavy side

18's are huge bro...they look tight tho but.....they will slow you down especially chrome man and that stuff is heavy!!!! go w/ like alloy or white or sumthing cause white if u scratch it you can just paint over it w/ white paint and it looks like new at least that is what i did...haha[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Just use your hubs from when you bought the car to race. Use the 18's too look cool.
